AOB: It’s possible for a woman to enjoy soccer independently. Really. So all you folks who stumble upon me watching soccer with the guys 1) I’m enjoying myself tremendously for real so don’t woishee me; 2) No I did not discover soccer concurrently with some guy; 3) Yes, I actually do know what’s going on… in fact I was a soccer fan long before you could spell football and there are pictures in the Nation archives of mini-me in my Adidas track suit welcoming back the AFC Leopards from winning the East and Central Africa championship to prove it.

wizzy looks nice , not only for the schools but for the some of us who dont have cheap and stable internet connections . this is something that the computer for schools project should look out for instead of just dumping computers in schools

That is cool! but lets not forget that internet explore can do the same thing for any internet pages. You can save and view the whole site offline using IE. I do that many times and it saves all the links required. Hope these teachers know that too.
